STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Required: 2 Weaknesses Minimum) :
+Swordsman: From the very beginning Marek has always obsessed over the blade, and through nearly three decades of training and combat, is a master of it. Utilizing both the non-conventional reverse grip and the standard grip together in a unique form of Jar’Kai hybridizing Shien and Djem’So, as well as brutal hand-to-hand efficiency, he is quite the threat in close quarters.
+Telekinetics: With his conversion to the light, Marek no longer put any effort into training in force lightning and now wields the force as telekinetic energy almost exclusively, and to a high degree of effectiveness.
+Mental Fortitude: A high amount of exposure to the worst of Sith mental attacks during his youth as a part of ‘training’ has left him with a high resistance to such attacks, in addition to his already strong mind.
+/- Battle Hardened: Marek has been fighting in someone or another's war since he was a boy, and while this has left him at home on the battlefield it has made him very much not at home off of it.
- Brash: Stubborn and prone to taking risks, Marek has more than once bitten off more than he can chew.
- Mental Trauma: Despite his reformation and treatment, Marek still bears the scars of his upbringing and a life spent at war.
- Limited Abilities: With all his focus in the force devoted to Telikinesis and enhancement of his physical abilities, the scope of his abilities in the force outside those two is virtually nonexistent.
SHIP: N/A
BIOGRAPHY:
Marek S'hadar was born to a couple of lowlifes trying to make ends meet desperately already his life started with tragedy. His estranged mother cast him into the streets while his father was out and left him for dead, blaming his disappearance on kidnapping. But they boy survived.
Taken in by sympathetic Twe'Liek prostitute Marek grew into a seemingly normal four year old boy living in the slums of Coruscant. The boy began showing odd abilities, being able to levitate objects and other things normally seen only in Jedi. Soon after the Jedi order discovered the boy and considered taking him in. Then one fateful night, a 'customer' of his caretaker butchered her with an emerald lightsaber.
As the boy was consumed by grief a Jedi by the name of Gallark Morten came to him and offered him an opportunity to have great power, and prevent the loss of those he cared for ever again. Unbeknownst to him Gallark was not only a Sith but the man who killed his mother figure to make him susceptible to his recruitment.
The boy was brought into the Sith order, the dark side having seduced him amidst his grief. Gallark became a master and Marek was his faithful apprentice. Over the years the child grew into a man, powerful in the dark side of the force. Upon delving into the death of his 'mother' he discovered his master's secret, and in a fit of rage, killed him. Now he awaited a new master.
The first time Marek stood in battle without his master was on Mygeeto where the boy rushed a droid construction facility only to find one Mikhail Shorn had already dealt with the issue at some physical cost. One disdainful look from Marek and his life was shaped once again by vengeance, Shorn instantly pinned the boy with an iron telekinetic grip around his throat, nearly choking him into unconsciousness before plunging a blade into his shoulder to bring him back into consciousness. All over a look. Marek didn't take it too kindly.
After receiving training for several years under Avicus DuSang, Marek journeyed to into the Sith catacombs on Ziost, among the other things he found was a stockpile of war droids. Surrounded and outnumbered he fought until he could no longer, destroying all the droids but being horridly wounded in the process. When he was found the Empire saved him only because he was the perfect candidate for the return of a long lost breed of assassins, the Sith Stalkers.
Shortly thereafter, he would discover that he had been cloned and despite what one would expect, he took the creation as his brother, giving him the name Galen because the writer was a damn fanboy. He would train his new brother to the best of his abilities, raising him to the rank of Knight when the time came and his power had grown enough to justify it.
After an extremely long and confusing turn of events, culminating in his abandonment of the Sith Empire in the wake of the Dark Harvest, Marek found himself and Galen redeemed. With his time in the Jedi he trained three students, all of which are now knights that faithfully serve the order. The most notable was Rasu Gan and Sochi Ru, for they had the most in depth relationship with Marek, and he cares deeply for the both of them, as he does his master in the Jedi arts, Josh DragonsFlame, as family.
Eventually he and Rasu Gan would marry after she graduated into a full Jedi Knight, and he would follow her as she built the Silver Jedi Order alongside Sochi. However, eventually the relationship would break down with both sides disappearing for long periods. From that point, Marek would often vanish for periods of time, venturing out into the far reaches of the galaxy to heal his broken mind and break the hold of the dark on his soul.
His world was rocked when the traumatic unveiling of his Cale’s true upbringing by One Sith agents, and his brainwashed betrayal of the Jedi Order sent Marek into a rage unseen in his time in the Jedi since the first battle of Ossus, and he killed both of the false philanthropists in cold blood. Of course he hid his shame and fought against the rising One Sith to the best of his abilities before disappearing once again. In the Omega War and the time following, a mysterious masked figure known as Craxus, one who was clearly driven mad by some greater power, would emerge for a time, hunting down the Sith with bloodthirsty efficiency.
However, one day Craxus simply vanished, and in his stead Jedi Master Marek S’hadar would return. This time, he was free of his anger, and his soul was finally at peace with the Jedi way. Joining his former master, Joshua DragonsFlame, in educating his many padawans, and taking a place amongst the Silver Jedi’s warriors, he has finally become a true Jedi.
